Looks like an Opus X Double Corona, I believe I paid the same ~$20 for the two I had.

I haven't smoked too many Opus X, they aren't my thing, but I loved the double corona.

Hopefully you have the same experience.

Can somebody explain to this noob what NC means?

Example: "Show your latest NC purchase".

New Cigars?

NC= Non Cuban

Here is a thread with a list of some common acronyms.

Haha Oh man, I feel dumb because I just got that application for my Iphone that has my humidor inventory saved and you have to select Cuban or Non-Cuban. Didn't put it together.

Thanks for the insight.

No worries Shane...it stumped me for a bit when I first got on the forums too. The acronym thread Dom linked is really useful for all the forum/cigar jargon we ramble on about

Lol, it took me a while to know what this meant at first too. I thought it was Nicotine cigars when I first started smoking.

CigarNut · 07-06-2011, 09:31 AM

When I first saw "NC" I thought it meant "No Charge" -- and I thought, Great!

Lay the cutter flat and cut, make sure you cut swiftly with enough force. For me if I cut too slow it will not cut perfectly. What kind of cutter do you have?

07-06-2011, 12:34 PM

its just a basic cutter from smoke shop

I would recommend investing in a good cutter if you are serious about this hobby. You will save many cigars from being destroyed by a cheap blade.

I have 3 Palio's and love them all. The oldest has been cutting cigars to perfection for 4 years. http://www.cigarmony.com/palio.aspx

the one i've got in there isn't calibrated, but with my 65% i've got a reading of 70% so i figured it couldnt be TOO inaccurate. but regardless what stumped me is that even if the pack does run low and gives me, say 60%, i figured my sticks could get a little more humid than they are. unless 60% is far too low
